Business Applications. NDIA Maintain a high level of competency in using the Agency IT system both personally and amongst LAC Service staff.
Business Applications. Business applications are used by business users to increase productivity, to measure productivity and to perform business functions accurately. Depending on the size and the complexity of the organization, different classes and types of business software is employed. This software is often of- the-shelf vendor software developed for typical business needs, e.g. business reporting, document processing, employee scheduling, customer relationship tracking, inventory management… Traditionally, each business or organization had to acquire, deploy, and manage the ICT resources and services required by its operations. As a result, the ICT management became an additional burden of each business. Over the years, business applications became sufficiently standardized to lend themselves to outsourcing and hosting deployment models. Therefore such applications are a very natural fit to every DC, including modern and emerging scale-out consolidated ICT environments, such as private, public, and hybrid clouds.

E-business mainly consists of the Company’s well established business-to business communication services and some newer products associated with e-commerce services. Through its co-operation with A-Trust, in which the Company holds a 19.9 per cent. stake, Telekom Austria provides a digital signature product allowing secure digital signatures to be used on-line, thereby enabling the secure processing of transactions and payments over the internet. E-office solutions, such as the new e-conferencing solution enable companies to conduct virtual meetings and share virtual presentations. New web-learning products provide virtual classrooms.
